Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBoris Goncharov is a Senior Scientist based in Hanover with eight years of research experience bridging theoretical astrophysics and data-driven gravitational-wave searches. He holds a PhD in Astrophysics from Monash University and began his scientific training at Moscow State University, combining expertise in nuclear/particle physics and cosmology. Boris led the Parkes pulsar timing array search for the nanohertz gravitational-wave background and has held postdoctoral and research roles at GSSI and Swinburne before joining the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics. Known for translating complex physical models into practical analysis pipelines, he blends deep theoretical insight with hands-on leadership in large, collaborative experiments. An early background in project management and analytical roles adds uncommon experience in coordinating interdisciplinary teams and delivering results under tight timelines.
